First, to provide a sectional money bag of this class in which variousdenominations of coins are individually separate from otherdenominations whereby time is saved in supplying a cash register withmoney previously drawn therefrom at the end of the foregoing day.

Second, to provide a sectional money bag of this class having separatepockets for various coins so that the money taken from a cash registerdrawer is readily maintained in segregated condition whereby coins ofvarious denominations do not become mixed and require separation priorto replacement in the cash register.

Fourth, to provide a sectional money bag of this class in which all ofthe pockets except one may be held in closed position by one hand of theoperator while dumping a certain denomination of coins from one pocketthereof. a

Fifth, to provide a sectional money bag of this class having a centralbag portion in which ourrency and other money may be positioned and alsohaving surrounding coin pockets all of which may be closed by a commonlace closure, and

Sixth, to provide a sectional money bag of this class which is verysimple and economical of construction, efficient in operation and whichwill not readily deteriorate or get out of order.

With these and other objects in view as will appear hereinafter myinvention consists of certain novel features of construction,combination and arrangements of parts and portions as will behereinafter described in detail and particularly set forth in theappended claim.

Reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the charactersof reference thereon forming a part of this application in which: Figure1 is a perspective view of my sectional money bag; Figure 2 is a plansectional view taken from the line 22 of Figure 1; Figure 3 is afragmentary sectional view taken from the line 3-3 of Figure 1 andFigure 4 is a fragmentary View of the blank forming the main bag memberof my sectional money bag.

Similar characters of reference refer to similar 56 1 Claim. (01. -1)

parts and portions throughout the. several views of the drawings.

The main bag member I, pocket members 2, 3, 4 and 5, eyelets 6 and thelace 7 constitute the principal parts and money bag.

The of the drawings is preferably made of a single piece of materialsubstantially in the form of'a cross, when laid out in flat position andthis main has memb I is pre rab mad i flexible terila-l such as fabricorthe like. The central por-l ti-on In of the main bra mfimber I forms,the bot,-.

tom for my sectionalmoney bag and the side Figure 4 of the drawingsportions l b as shown in are folded on the seam lines lc whereby theop,- posite edges I d of the side portions lb are sewed together at theseam lines le all as shown best in Figure 4; of the drawings. It will benoted that theseam line to as shownin Figure Softhedrawings forms theseam for connection of thelower ends 2a of the pocket members 2, 3', 4'and. 5, with the main bag member I'. It will be noted, 2, 3, d -and 5are secured] that the pocket members at their opposite side edgesbetween the edge l portions l ith ma n bag-member t by the seam portionsIe as shown best in Figure 2 of the drawings. Figure 2 of the drawings,the corner of the main bag I adjacent to which thepocket and 5 aremembers 4 and 5 are positioned and held by the seam le. Thisconstruction is used at all four corners of the money bag and provides avery simple and strong sectional money bag. It will be noted that thelower end portions 2a of the pocket members 2, 3, 4 and 5 as shown inFigure 3 of the drawings are first connected to the main bag member I atthe seam portions 1c before the seam portions edges of the pocketmembers therebetween. The

thereof and these eyelets 6 form a support for the lace 1 which passestherethrough as shown in Figure 1 of the drawings providing a closuremeans for the upper end of the sectional money bag for the prevention ofloss at the open ends of the pocket members as well as the centrallydisposed main bag member I. It will be noted that each of the pocketmembers outside the main bag member I provides a compartment for coins.Each individual pocket member at,

portions of my sectional main bag member I as shown in Figure 4' Asshown in le are sewed together retaining opposite its outer side may belabeled corresponding to the particular denomination of coin to beplaced therein, for example, one pocket member may be labeled 54?,another 10, another 25 and the fourth may be labeled 50. If desired thelabels may be placed on the main bag member I at the upper ends of thepocket members 2, 3, 4 and 5. Thus the pocket members 2, 3, 4 and 5 atthe outer side of the main bag l'are particularly adapted for use incontaining various denominations of coins while the main bag member Imay be used for currency, checks and other papers if desired.

The operation of my sectional money substantially as follows:

bag is When transferring money from a cash register to my sectionalmoney bag, the coins are placed in the pocketmembers 2,

3, 4 and 5 in the following manner, the five cent pieces from onecompartment of the cash register are placed in one of the pocket memberswhile the ten cent pieces may be placed in another of the pocketmembers, the twenty-five cent pieces may be placed in the third pocketmember, and fifty cent pieces may be placed in the fourth pocket member.All other moneys are then placed in the main bag member I and the lace 7is drawn through the eyelets 6 until all of the pocket members togetherwith the main bag member I are held tightly closed near their upperends. When replacing the money in the cash register on the followingday, the top Of the money bag is opened by releasing the lace 1 and allof the pocket members and the main bag member I with the exception ofone pocket member may be held closed while pouring a certaindenomination of coin out of said pocket member into the correspondingcompartment in the cash register. This operation may be repeated untileach of the pocket members is exhausted of coins whereby the individualcompartments of the cash register arequickly supplied with coins of theproper denominations. The currency may be removed from the main bagmember i as desired and placed in proper compartments in the cashregister.

Though I have shown and described a particular combination, constructionand arrangement of parts and portions, I do not wish to be Numberlimited to the particular construction, combination and arrangement butdesire to include in the scope of my invention the construction,combination and arrangement substantially as set forth in the appendedclaim.

Having thus described claim as new and desire Patent is:

In a sectional money bag of the class described, the combination of amain bag member having a bottom portion, a plurality of side portionsintegral with said bottom portion, a plurality of pocket members securedthereto around the bottom portion of said main bag member, the side edgeportions of said pocket members being connected to the side edgeportions of the side portions of said main bag member at the normallyouter side of each of said side portions of said main bag member,opposite sides of said pocket members being contiguous with each otherand interposed between adjacent edges of said side portions of said mainbag thereof, a lacing member surrounding said pocket members for closingsaid main bag member and said pocket members, the normally open ends ofsaid pocket members end of said main bag member when in uprightposition.
